I do not think this is caused or related to the Yamaha because I have tried other Synths. The Kronos and the Integra 7 and the same problem occurs. I think Cubase is sending a message causing this. I need to find a MIDI monitor.

I hate Carols, they are boring and lacks groove. Same thing for most gospel music, just dead and repetitive.

Going to check that out, because still happening and so freaking annoying. Thanks

Thanks my friend, I am going to give this a second look.

Thanks for the response! The issue I am having occurs each time I change a patch and it is freaking annoying when attempting to browse patches/voices. I have tried removing CC7 but it does not seem to make a difference. Going back to see what else I can change.

Hello my friends: I have a Yamaha Montage 8 configured in Cubase 10.5. I am also using the Patch file which allows me to select and change instruments in the Montage directly from the MIDI Track in Cubase. All is working except the Volume keeps getting loud (reset) each time I change an instrument (voice/patch). I know why this is happening but not certain where to stop this. In the Montage there is a (Program Change) setting under Utility --> Advance. If I turn this off the issue goes away. however, changing or controlling the Montage will not work, rightfully so because no controller message is received. In the Montage I also change the Controller Settings from Reset to Hold but this does not make a difference. Something is resetting/sending the CC7 Controller messaging from Cubase each time I change instruments but I am not sure where this setting is. One important note is, if I click on the Volume Control on the MIDI track, the volume goes to normal but it gets loud as soon as I change the instrument, which as I stated, is resetting the CC7 Message to some default level. I have attempted to ask in Cubase forum but no one appears to know the answer. Perhaps another Montage user have had similar experience

Interesting, I have never looked at it this way.

Very well stated.

Very interesting response. I am friends with a lot of EDM artists and majority refer to themselves as Sound Designers. But to your point regarding incidental creativity, I was doing vocals last night and shortly before the song, I chugged some tea and preceeded to shake the tea in my mouth and the recording is amazing! That was not my intentions but it happened and it sounds like a guitar, kind of funky BeeGees like groove.

I have never used a Soft-Synth but browsing the web, there are millions of sounds out there, for example, The Komplete 12 and all the synths from the 50's to now. I realized not everyone has access to the same tools and resources but I hear people talking about sound design and I am wondering if anything created today is truly new or unique? Another example: The new Roland Fantom, is the sound going to be different than all that is already released? This question is not to put down creativity but rather about curiosity as to the possibility of creating something that does not already exist. I see the value if, you do not have an array of sounds and synths but giving where Soft Synth is, is there really something that has not been made?

What song is he playing at the beginning? I am in love with those chords, looking to using them, is it an original song or just something random? Thanks

Thanks, my friend! That is very kind of you! I do not have Zibra2, Ironically, I have never used a Soft-Synth before, however, I am thinking about it. I can still download a trial and check it out. Thanks again!

I currently have both Yamaha Montage 8 and Kronos 8. Unlike the Korg, the Montage does not directly sample audio and does not have a Sampler. There is a free software called Sample Robot, you can use this to sample sounds via an audio interface and then import the file into the Montage to be played as a Sample. The Kronos as with all Korg Workstation has a native sampler built right in, just connect your audio source and start sampling. Korg has a 24-bit sampling. I have not used the Kronos to sample but have used the Triton and I was very impressed. If you want a truly clean sound, then go with the Montage because you get to use HD audio from your Audio Interface, like 24bits 192Khz with better conversion and simply dump the file to the Montage, with the Kronos, you have to rely on the internal converters and sample rates. Here is that Sample Robot Software for the Montage. https://www.yamahamusicsoft.com/samplerobot

Hello to all. So, as far as I can remember I have been hearing this sound, especially in the 80's and early 90's and always wanted to create it but like most musicians today, I used available samples and became lazy. However, I want to be able to create this myself but not certain how it works. I am referring to the Portamento slides between keys or octaves. Take a listen to the intro on this song by Keith Sweat. Here is another song by Boyz 2 Men, same at the intro: And finally, here it is again, Bruno Mars: I mean this sound is all over the 80's. I want to be able to incorporate this into my songs using those sexy synth basses. I currently own the Korg Kronos 8 and the Yamaha Montage 8 and an array of other keys. Doing a google search, I see all kinds of suggestions that get me nowhere. Thanks for your help! AI
